🌼🐝 Celebrating Lights On After School! 🐝🌼

As part of the Celebration of Light on Afterschool, we celebrated the people and spaces that continue the magic long after the school bell rings. 📚💛

At Lansdowne Library, children enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon of painting, colouring, and dancing, creating memories while expressing their creativity. 🎨🕺

The excitement grew even more with a special visit from our beloved mascot, LiBee, who brought plenty of smiles and laughter to the session. 😄🎉

A special thank you to our Yeboneer, Zoë, who oversaw and facilitated the programme, ensuring that everyone had an enjoyable and engaging experience. 👏🤗

Afterschool programmes provide children with opportunities to learn, create, connect, and grow in a safe and welcoming environment, and we are proud to be part of that journey. 💕📖
